And this is why you file for divorce like an adult, instead of abandoning your family without notice. Fuck that entitled, "I must do what makes me happy, damn the consequences" attitude.

Source: I have a conscience.

I'm not telling you to take sides, but good on you for staying loyal to your dad. Just watch, when the fantasy fades, she will come crawling back, and he will get to be the one who gets to say he "found someone else". When this happens, remind him that he deserves better than to be someone's Plan B. 26 years of history or not.

He's going to have to grieve, but as a post-40 dude myself I can say there's a lot to look forward to. I'll leave you with a book recommendation: The Middle Passage, by James Hollis. Changed my life. Best of luck to you and your dad.

I did tell him myself of course. All the time. But I'm hoping with the help of reddit encouraging him that he can get through this and hopefully everything will get better hell get out of this depression and jump back into life

Yes that's exactly it. I'm a huge karma whore and I use my dads emotional breakdown and tough time he's going through to get it. It must be that over me trying to lift my dads spirits from far away and just being there for him even when I'm not physically there.

Yes I don't live with him or in the same state as him and this is one of the few pictures I have with him. He doesn't like pictures of himself. And I love this picture. He's happy here. It's how I want him to look again

I am so scared of this happening in the future. I have been with my husband for 7 years( in November) and married 1 come February. I was 15 and him 17, we met in high school and im terrified that one day it'll all just be over after 20 some odd years :(

Look. I think your intentions are great, you seem nice enough, and it seems that you have your Dad's best interests at heart. But this is so, so dumb.

Firstly,

No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts.

Secondly, why the hell would your dad seeing all of his dirty laundry aired out on Reddit make him feel better? Why would a bunch of strangers that are unfamiliar with the situation (and with him- i'll give him the benefit of doubt of knowing he's not an asshole, but there is literally nothing we know about him besides what he looks like) make him feel better? Just help him get through it yourself. Tell him what you're telling us, there's no reason we should have to say "hey you're a great dad" just because you're telling us to. Don't bring Reddit into the situation for no reason, don't try and add some ethos to a photo of your dad for karma (if that's what you're doing), and for the love of god, don't air your family's dirty laundry on the internet.

Firstly I was unaware of that rule.
Second I am doing this because I cant be with my dad every day like I would like to be and tell him in person that I love him and he can get through this. If I need to delete this post I will but I'm just trying to help in anyway I can. And I didn't think of it as airing my families dirty laundry. I just really want to help him

Second I am doing this because I cant be with my dad every day like I would like to be and tell him in person that I love him and he can get through this.

Phone call? E-mail? There's no way that you honestly thought "the best way to contact my father is by hoping he sees it on Reddit." If the circumstances you've mentioned are true, I wish your father the best, but there is no reason it needs to be on Reddit. Personally, I don't care if you delete it, it's already up and it's not like I have to stare at it otherwise, but I'm really sick of seeing this type of post.

Why don't you just tell him yourself? What does the internet have to do with it?

"Hey Dad, here's this picture of you and I. I wish you were happy like this again. I love you."

"Hey Reddit here's my personal issues and a photo. No one has ever gotten through a personal obstacle without a bunch of random internet strangers giving karma. If I really wanted to get actual encouragement or advice I would go to /r/relationships or /r/BreakUps"

I'm not looking for advice or karma. I don't care about karma right now. I'm looking for encouragement for my dad. Downvote me to an oblivion I don't care. I want my dad to see that other people besides my sister and I are routing for him to get out of this hole.

I was just with him for a week but I had to come back home for work. My job is letting me take a couple weeks on and a couple weeks off to support him but I can't be there all the time like I would like to be

your dad is a great man for having a daughter that cares this much about him. I don't know his pain considering I've only had 3 girlfriends and none of them have lasted longer than 2 months (I'm 21). 26 Fucking years. . . holy shit. . . I hope he gets out of his rut. He must be a great guy and I hope for the best.

He will pull through I believe it, just give it time. His heart must be crushed or maybe not I have no idea I have yet to dive deep into these comments. All I know is when I have kids I hope they care for me as much as you do for your dad. Have a good day and best of luck :)

Everyone should stop being a twat and just appreciate this post for what it is, a daughter in a tough spot trying to make her dad feel better. I'm sure she's probably told him she loves him to his face, but she's just looking for a nice thing to do for him from far away.

If I saw that someone I loved announced what a great person I was on the internet, I'd be really touched. So everyone just take this for what it is and stop trying to tear it down, if you don't like it, downvote it if you must.

My mom recently left my dad after 26 years of marriage. After a year, he's is still a bit lost, but we're getting through it. With time, it will get easier. Just be there for each other. Hope things get better for you both.

My Mom left my Dad earlier this year after 26 years of marriage. Their divorce was final a week ago.

It's truly heartbreaking watching the person who you've considered your rock your whole entire life go through this. I had never seen my Dad cry until earlier this year.

It's incredibly hard, but tell him that this is a way to start a new chapter in his life. Tell him to pick up a new hobby, join a new club, etc. There are various ways of dealing with this and I am so glad my Dad took the healthy route instead of spiraling downward (he was diagnosed with an aortic aneurism shortly after my mom left him and has other health issues). He's lost 40 pounds, goes to the gym regularly, and eats really healthy. He chose to get healthy for him and his daughters... and also picked up a few new hobbies to pass time.

Anyway, I digress. I really hope everything turns up for your Dad. Give him a BIG hug next time you see him.

She was seeing someone on the side and just left. And I may not of been around 100% of the time but I can say my father was not abusive of any kind. Hes not perfect mind you but I believe she was getting "new attention" and fell for that "new love feeling" if that makes sense

Look, I'm on your side re: Reddit's misandry, it's a huge issue. Even moreso than I thought, because when I'm mentioning that phrase, I'm talking about all the men's rights activists that come out of the woodwork to say shit like "IF THIS WAS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN HE'D BE IN JAIL" on every fucking post. I'm just sick of seeing people try to suggest that things should always be the same for both genders. (I'm not referring to what you were calling out though, that's bullshit.)

I'm talking about all the men's rights activists that come out of the woodwork to say shit like "IF THIS WAS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN HE'D BE IN JAIL" on every fucking post.

I don't know how someone can believe both of those things. If it is a problem, and I agree with you that it is a HUGE problem, then it needs to be brought to peoples' attention.

I'm just sick of seeing people try to suggest that things should always be the same for both genders.

The problem has come over the last four decades where women have gotten to have the best of both worlds. If something favors men, they want equality and they want the playing field leveled. If something favors women, then they say exactly what you just said... "Not EVERYTHING should be equal."

I look at it like this. Feminist have fought for equal rights and NOT equal responsibility. They are good at pointing out the one or two trivial things where they get the worst of it and ignore the DOZENS of ways men get the worst of it, many of them potentially fatal or life-ruining.

So you'll forgive my skepticism when I hear anyone say "not everything needs to be equal"... Either EVERYTHING needs to be or NOTHING. I'm not going to settle for the rigged game female supremacists currently want men in the US to play.
